Interesting Jim!

Here our my results for my MAC


"Attempting connection to your computer...
Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server
within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own
personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with
neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving
up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification
and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet!

Preliminary Internet connection refused!
This is extremely favorable for your system's overall Windows File and
Printer Sharing security. Most Windows systems, with the Network
Neighborhood installed, hold the NetBIOS port 139 wide open to solicit
connections from all passing traffic. Either this system has closed this
usually-open port, or some equipment or software such as a "firewall" is
preventing external connection and has firmly closed the dangerous port
139 to all passersby. (Congratulations!)

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED.
(This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to
vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be
VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS
networking protocol over the Internet."
